So, I'm hoping for a better season, but I'm slightly worried that he'll b e kept as a left forward. Are we gonna get another inconsistent season of Coutinho on the left, cutting in and taking wild shots, scoring 6-7 wonder goals and being voted, player of the season? I'm not sure I want to see this anymore, I feel it's a detriment to our team as well as to Coutinho and the reason why he is inconsistent.
Wide players are generally in and out of the game and not particularly the focal points, you want them to support the full backs , make runs behind the opposition defence, or to be good at 1v1's and attack their full backs, Coutinho certainty lack these traits doesn't he?
He is a playmaker/AMC, he has exceptional awareness when there are players in front of him making runs beyond, the ability to ball carry from deep and turn defence into attack is another great trait he has. He should be deeper, roaming and involved in the game as much as possible.
